Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate configuration of a User Equipment (UE) with two or more Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configurations. A first set of techniques can facilitate configuration of the UE with independent DRX configurations for Frequency Range 1 (FR1) and for Frequency Range 2 (FR2). A second set of techniques can facilitate configuration of the UE with independent DRX configurations for a first set of one or more Component Carriers (CCs) associated with a first frequency band of a supported band combination and for a second set of one or more CCs associated with a second frequency band of the supported band combination. Various embodiments can employ techniques of one or more of the first set of techniques or the second set of techniques.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to perform rate matching for reference signals under certain conditions. The UE receives information associated with a downlink reference signal for a first radio access technology (RAT), wherein the first RAT is different than a currently camped second RAT, identifies reference signal occasions for the downlink reference signal and receives downlink control information from the second RAT via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

Abstract: The exemplary embodiments relate to signaling between a user equipment (UE) and a cell over the unlicensed spectrum. The UE may receive a signal broadcast by a cell of the network over a channel in the unlicensed spectrum. The signal includes a set of channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) each corresponding to a set of synchronization signal blocks (SSB) and is transmitted during a discovery reference signal (DRS) window. The UE may then determine a location of the set of CSI-RS within the DRS window and perform an operation based on the set of CSI-RS.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods that support capability index reporting associated with multi-antenna panel uplink transmissions. In an example, a base station configures a UE to perform channel state information (CSI) group-based reporting. The UE can report a set of capability indexes that correspond to an antenna panel or for a plurality of antenna panels. This report can indicate the number of sounding reference signal (SRS) ports supported per corresponding antenna panel(s). Further, the reported capability indexes can be included in a CSI group-based report or in a standalone report.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for physical downlink control channel design for a discrete Fourier Transform-spread-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) waveform. The apparatuses and methods can include at least operating a base station (BS) to generate one or more physical downlink control channels (PDCCH) in a time division multiplexing (TDM) manner using a Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) waveform, generate a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) which is multiplexed in the TDM manner with the one or more PDCCH, and transmit the one or more PDCCH and the DMRS to a user equipment (UE).

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling behavior for overriding grants for channel state information (CSI) feedback. A user equipment (UE) may control override of a first grant of a first radio resource by a second grant of a second radio resource. The UE determines that the second radio resource at least partially overlaps with the first radio resource. The UE also determines a physical layer priority of the first grant of the first radio resource and the second grant of the second radio resource. The physical layer priority is based on at least one of the first grant of the first radio resource and the second grant of the second radio resource being configured for transmitting CSI feedback over a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to a base station. The UE then generates a transmission according to the physical layer priority.
